The Five Rules Of Performance Nutrition!

Following these 5 Rules will help you formulate a sound nutritional diet plan:1. Always eat 5-6 times a day. Feed your body, keep your body energized so it will not breakdown muscle and store energy as body fat.

3. Each meal should compliment what you will be doing the next 3-4 hours. If you are about to workout, then take in more energy. If you are about to go to bed, eat a simpler carb meal.

4. To lose fat you must have a negative caloric balance meaning you are consuming less calories than you are burning. To build muscle you must have a positive caloric balance meaning that you are taking in more calories than you are burning. This calorie intake is accompanied by and consistant with a balanced resistance and aerobic training routine.

5. In order to get all the nutrients you need to maintain your lean mass supplementation is necessary. It is hard to eat 5-6 meals a day for most people so sometimes a supplementary shake could pose as a meal replacement.
